In summary, Walz was super nervous like a real human and Vance was smooth and polished, like a gold-plated turd. But I thought Vance still came off well and even "presidential", much more so than Trump.

Walz STILL did a remarkably obtuse job of explaining his Tiananmen Square "misspeak". After explaining a bit of his long history with trips to China, he eventually got around to saying that he "doesn't do times well", but his extreme reluctance to admin any past errors bothers me. I suppose all politician are like that however.

And, sadly, Walz says "nucular" like GWB did. <sigh> 😊 But he "did no harm" to Harris and the campaign, which is all he really had to do.

Vance did Trump a solid in sane-washing all the lies and heinous policies. I wonder if maybe Trump feels a little threatened by Vance's poise and eloquence compared to His Orange Highness?
